Israel

This is a good start, me thinks. With the big trip little more than a week away, It's probably about time I mentioned this. Oh yeah. This is gonna be a good post.
So. Israel. That's a cool place. My mother's really excited about this Jewish fortress in the desert (think it was Masada) from a revolt against the Romans. She keeps telling me, "Curly, we're gonna be standing in the exact spots where people fought and died two thousand years ago. We're gonna be in places where they kept their sacrafices, where they lived, where they worked and prayed." And she'll go on about the Crusades and the World Wars and tons more.
I think it's really hard to understand what that means, to be standing on the ground where people lived their lives two thousand years ago. It's such a long time, but for some places, the city hasn't changed at all. It really is unique about Israel (well, Jerusalem in particualar), how you can see the exact spots where people prayed without having an office building built on top of it, or the land plowed up, or tons of other stuff. It's still there, same as it always has been. I think I'm in for a really exciting trip.

Been a while

I haven't blogged in like a week...or maybe it was more than that. But whatever. I really can't think of anything worth blogging about. Fudge has practically monopolized the PT, so I can't do PT qoutes. Rafiki makes movies, and 30 cal justs hangs out and raps Linkin Park on his blog.

Basically, I need a hobby. I need some kind of gimmi(c?)k to bring the customers back. Uh...

er....

eh...
...any ideas?
